I have specific experience working with individuals with severe food allergies, asthma, autoimmune disorders, and chronic pain. As a therapist with personal experience living with food allergies and chronic disease, I love working with individuals who are navigating these complex challenges. I also enjoy working with tweens, teens, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, life transitions, depression, fear of abandonment, and past traumas. I work through an intersectional lens, considering each client’s overlapping facets of identity better to understand their role in their experience.

I also have a credential in school psychology and work with parents of children or adolescents with ADHD, autism, behavior problems, learning disabilities, mental illness and other challenges to have a more harmonious home.
My successful client is interested in bettering themselves, is open to suggestions and is willing to work hard to improve their life. I would enjoy assisting you in bringing joy, adventure and romance back to your relationship. Are you stuck in a job where you feel unfulfilled? I can help you create a position, or market yourself to find satisfaction in your job. Is depression or anxiety hindering you from doing things you enjoy? You're likely to respond to my CBT based program to assist you in recognizing patterns that are holding you prisoner and keeping you from your dreams.

I specialize in working with people with chronic illness, disability, cancer, auto-immune disorders, and chronic pain, as well as menopause/perimenopause, and infertility/reproductive health issues; among a myriad of other conditions.
One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, my approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. I specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.

Chronic Pain Therapists
How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
